Title: WinXP SP3 Yields Performance Gains Over Vista SP1 Again Post by: Alex on November 28, 2007, 05:18:29 PM WinXP SP3 Yields Performance Gains Over Vista SP1 Again
exo.blog has at the request of their members re-run the original OfficeBench test, this time with 2GB of RAM in the test system. Unfortunately the outcome is unchanged bar a 4% improvement on the previous score. One can argue that Windows XP system requirements are quite a bit lower than its successor, and thats probably got a lot to do with it. This, coupled with claims that Vista SP1 will not improve on performance but will in fact be all about stability and reliability instead, doesn't offer much hope for those people on older systems.Make of it what you will, I personally don't have performance issues at all. I use Vista with 2GB of RAM and I have a Sandisk 2GB memory stick that is used for the "Ready Boost" feature, maybe they should re-run the test with that scenario.Chris Pirillo had this to say on all those negative articles surrounding Windows Vista, enjoy!
